Oh my GOD. Why have I not been previously informed?

… well that’s just logic. Or something. Probably the something because wtf.

Fucking fuck. I’ve never read Shadow Ticket but that qntm piece was a boot to the head.

Yay!

No worries. Totally fair criticism! I do suspect job title drift (to sound more engineering-y) is tied in with which parts of which jobs are considered hardcore “for guys” vs those girly parts of coding, which are the parts women are more likely to do regardless of complexity.

Oh good lord.

Oh hell no. that BS is baked in to the engineering profession etc and what wasn’t baked in already got worse after WWII because of racism in how the GI bill was applied. But software has so many “hey, bro, we’re not just programmers we’re ENGINEERS“ dorks. and they annoy me.

No no no. None of this friendly roundabout stuff. Ya gotta go all the way to Whirling Wheels of Death like we have for rotaries in MA. That said, I grew up near 5 streets coming together with just a blinking light in the middle. Fuck yeah. hostile infrastructure FTW.

WAT
November 25, 2025 at 12:39 AM
FUCK YES

Nobody taught them! How could they know?! Why is everyone so MEAN?!!
November 24, 2025 at 9:46 PM
Oh hell. This happens every 10-15 years, I think.

Fucking cancer.

oh fucking fuck.

Idea landlord? No. I am an actual landlord and I object to anyone tarring landlording with this bullshit.

Fatherhood and families are a solution because it lets folks slide all the blame over to women.
November 24, 2025 at 6:40 PM
Well, that’s disappointingly depressing.
November 24, 2025 at 6:27 PM
Yep. Sorry - long standing peeve of mine. My job title is network engineer but I would never make claims to doing actual engineering. I think a lot of these twerps do not understand what is included in “engineering.” There’s more than “checked in lines” And “didn’t break prod (this time)“
November 24, 2025 at 6:24 PM
The fucking fuck? Yikes! Take care!
